I am organizing a study group for the big math final next Friday.
Anyone interested? It'll probably be this weekend.
And I know there's a party this weekend too, but
That math final IS worth 60% of our grade!
@open
Dude, you're not going to get anyone to come with math.
...
I'll come. When and where?
'Dude'
Way to prove yourself wrong. ;P
You can come over to my house around 7pm. My dumb brother's serving time at the shelter so the place is empty. 🙄
"I'm doing this so you won't end up being alone. Math can go suck it... but I do want to finally pass this test."
"Done. So it's going to be you and me and an empty house? I'm getting a six-pack for us. Don't ask me where I'll get it. Plausible deniability and that stuff."
Yeah mom and dad took my little sister to some dance recital thing in Portland.
Also--no, don't even go there. You can't study math when you're drunk!
What's wrong with soda??
"There's nothing wrong with soda. Soda is great. But it's the principle of the whole thing. You have the house to yourself - you can't just be good."
"And you never know, drunk me might be able to do math. Sober me definitely can't."
Sober you is... getting there...
Anyway 6 cans is too many! 1 can each. And all the chips you can raid from Stef's stash.
"Really?... OK, if you say so."
Jojo's totally not grinning from ear to ear looking at the screen.
"Deal. And I'll raid that stash like it's nobody's business.😋"
You'll be a math nerd in no time! Haha... not that you want to be one probably.
Also if Stef finds out, know that I will throw you under the bus. 😂
"I'd give them a bad reputation. I'll settle for passing instead."
"What if I share with you? Will we go down together?"
You'd raise the cool factor though!
...OR... we take the loot and run.
"Maybe. Then again, I don't think they'd appreciate a known cheater in their mix. There's no way we can get this equation to work. Because math. Get it? Get it? Never mind. Ignore me."
"He-he, I thought you were the good brother. You're definitely smarter one. I like your plan much better."
I'm striking that horrific joke from the record. You're just lucky we're such good friends!
...let's just say I'm smarter than my brother.
BrotherS plural! You're so lucky you're an only child
"And it's good that you are friends with me for the jokes. Wait, why are you friends with me again? No, don't think about it. Help me pass math first and then do it. 😈"
"You have no idea..."
"Anyway, we've got an empty house, drinks and brain food. What else do we need for your math 'party'?"
Why do I get the feeling I'm being used here...? 🤔
And logic dictates we need... math books! Hahaha
"Just a little bit. So we can graduate together. I might be trouble but I'm loyal."
"Oh my god, it's going to be such a riot. /s"
"Once I pass the test - yes, I'm actually being optimistic, don't say anything - I need to take you to a real party so you see how the world works. You're going to pass the test anyway, that goes without saying."
So you plan to stick to me like glue? :) I like this plan! Friends forever!
And hey
I've been to REAL PARTIES before! They're just too loud and there's too many drunks.
If I wanted to watch somebody get plastered I'd go see Stef. 🤣
"Yep, but like superglue. The kind that'll need paramedics to remove. Only less gruesome."
"You haven't been to party with me. I'll make sure you have a good time and you won't have to get drunk. We don't even have to invite Stef. But that also means we can't tell him about it."
I feel like that analogy got away from you a little bit there...
Oh god, yeah any time Stef hears the word 'party' he loses his ever-loving mind. Oh crap. He's going to want to have a party this weekend isn't he? Because our parents are away.
Damnit! My quiet weekend studying math!!
UGH anyway. I will party with you one time before we graduate, how's that?
"What? Where? Yeah, it did. Shouldn't have tried to be clever. That only works for you."
"Wait, hold up. I think you are safe. There's already a party planned. Do you think Stef can be bothered to throw one if he could just go to one? He can get shitfaced in peace if he's not doing anything. And even so - this math night is happening. I'm invested now and I have your back. I'm not afraid of Stef. I'll kick his ass."
"Awesome! I'll remember that. You won't regret it...until later.😋"
Yeah I know, the popular kids' party... But Stef's parties are a little bit um. Wilder than the usual ones, I'm afraid.
And I'm not going to be home when the police bust in and raid the place for underage drinking and drug use! And neither will you! One more strike and they'll take you to juvie, and I can't lose my best friend now!
Hey, how about your place? Can we study there?
"Oh, yeah. Bad ideas come naturally to him."
"You're the best, you know that? You are totally the best."
A pause between posts. A noticeable one.
"I don't think so. It's a mess. You wouldn't like it."
The last thing Jojo wanted was his father near Emil. The man can control himself around visitors but better not risk it.
"What about Dine 'n Dash? It's open pretty late, it's got food and it's pretty calm...ish. I've some money saved up so it'll be my treat."
*secretly pleased*
You're not so bad yourself. :P
I'm okay with Dine n Dash. But I'll pay for myself, sir, because I am an independent man who don't need... er... to have his meals paid for.
...that one got away from ME that time...
"I know. 😎"
"Look at you, trying to pretend to make me feel better. How about we just pool our money? We buy stuff, share it and then split the bill. It's not like it's a date or anything."
Son of a-!
"Just math. To pass a test. That stuff."
Flop sweat.
Okay okay, that's fair.
Except people split the bill on dates too you know!
Not that
this is a date. I'm just saying, you know, if it was
which it isn't
splitting the bill wouldn't be abnormal
*cough*
"Yep... yep. You are right. Because you are smart."
"No date... just friends learning about parabola and that stuff."
Extra flop sweat.
"So I'll see you there?"
Haha yeah! Yeah I'll meet you at our usual table at the back!
If you get there before me, order ALL THE FOOD!!
"Usual table and all the food - done and done. Anyone gets in the way I'll kick their asses. Nobody's stopping this math party. 🤓"
Jojo felt he was getting too close to nerdness but Emil is worth it.
Wow Jojo
You made that sound
SO COOL
*laughing*
